Last I knew of Wolfmother, 2 of the 3 original members left and were touring as part of the new Kid Koala project, The Slew (highly recommended). I assumed that was it for the band, however, shortly after seeing The Slew live, I began hearing the name Wolfmother again everywhere that I looked. Apparently, frontman, [...]

[Scroll to bottom for MP3 Download of 11/19/94 "Parking Lot show"]Years ago, when I lived in Olympia, Washington, something odd happened.

Neckties are, arguably, one of the most pointless and unnecessary garments ever created. Thin strips of fabric tucked under a collar, don't exactly provide a shield from the elements and, if anything, they create a potential hazard with their risk of strangulation.

Back in our Oct. 2007 interview with with Charlie Day, I asked the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star/executive producer about marketing.

Along with the likes of Squarepusher, Amon Tobin was one of the first artists to give me hope for post-Kraftwerk electronic music and to really open my mind to the genre as a whole. Being urrounded by '90s house and a plethora of clueless, wing nut, suburban candy ravers, instilled a prejudice in me that [...]

That's because the image on the left features Bruce Springsteen holding a Paul Languedoc, just like Trey Anastasio's, instead of the original Fender Telecaster (right). In what can only be labeled as a moment of boredom, PHISH.com has started to photoshop the band members and PHISH-related imagery into the artwork in their list...
